The hill on which the summit cross is located is called Storchennest. The rare black stork can still be found in Märkische Schweiz. Unlike the white stork, it does not nest near people on buildings, but builds its nest in treetops. Perhaps a black stork once built a nest up here in a tree. With increasing tourism, it may have then looked for another, quieter home. That is how I can explain the name.

The rare black stork still exists in Märkische Schweiz. In contrast to the white stork, it does not nest on buildings near people, but rather builds its nest in treetops. Maybe a black stork once built a nest in a tree up here. As tourism increased, he may have looked for another, quieter place to live. In this way I could explain the naming.

The forest in Märkische Schweiz is just beautiful. You can go hiking or biking there. One or the other tree can get in the way.

In fact, on old postcards you can find the term "stork's nest" for this hill above Lake Griepen. Nothing can be found on the big, wide web about the origin of the name. There is even a summit cross and a rest area at the vantage point. In any case, you have a wonderful view of the Schlossberg and the hilly landscape around Buckow.
